Very plain sense this means that: Hand-tufted is a process of weaving rugs and carpets in a particular pattern, where you tuft the yarn with the help of gun.

Once the yarn is inserted on canvas cloth, or say when the weaving is over, after close inspection that the colours have been placed right or not, a paste popularly named as latex is done on the back of the rug, so that the yarn which is tufted on canvas cloth gets locked, and doesn’t comes out. To make the rug more strength and look good a backing canvas is then pasted.
